Happy Birthday Liam

Liam, is turning four today! I saw this play mat somewhere in the net but, I can't remember where so if any one recognize it please tell me so I can credit the artist!

I've made a play mat and added some Jungle animals with it... I remembered that there is a rope around but I couldn't find any at the time and didn't know what to do... 

Last night I couldn't sleep (no, not because of that but it helped... :-D) and thought what to do with it.. till I remembered that one time I saw how the pioneers were using old cloth to make rugs and other staff by connecting them together to one long thread... so that what I did! I've made three strips and braided them together... 

For the card I've made a lion card... I really hope Liam would like it... 

Here some pictures... 

I think this card stand to the challeng on cupcake craft challenges as a boy friendly card :-). What do you think? Is it??? :-D
